In a meadow of grass and golden light A noble is born to fall in flight While the slaughter to feed just grows and grows Where's the pity for those who serve our souls Animal animal run away Animal animal don't delay Oh what a shame Savour the blood and guts of it all Ball and chain Over and over again With the wind at your back on rainy nights Do you ever give thanks and say alright For the leather that's warmed the self esteem While the humble and dumb provide the screams Animal animal run away Animal animal don't delay Oh what a shame Wearing the cuts and the bruise of it all Ball and chain Over and over again
